I started germination of 1 Strawberry lemonade bean on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plug was just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made hole. Than I sowed my bean into the hole. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the hole in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plug into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see a sprout. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plug planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get this lady situated into her home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Strawberry lemonade. Ive only grown this variety out once. In a 1 gallon SOG grow where she faired ok. I could tell she really wanted to explode and branch out. But a restricted root mass just would not allow for it. She had some of the sweetest tasting flowers that came with a strong potent kick. Really looking forward to giving her a larger container and see what she can do when shes let loose.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 9 | Just Let Me Grow Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 Some plants ask for attention. Some plants demand it. And then there are plants that simply look at you and say: “I'm good. Just let me grow.” 😂 Godfather OG Pheno B is definitely one of those girls. This week, she's happy. She's growing. She's adapting. She's building flowers. She's beautifully green. And she's asking for absolutely nothing. So what am I doing? Exactly what she wants. I'm letting her grow. 🌱 🌿 The Happy Girl in the Room There is something incredibly satisfying about walking into a room full of more than twenty plants and finding one that simply looks completely comfortable in her surroundings. Godfather OG Pheno B is giving me exactly that feeling. She's not complaining. She's not demanding anything. She's not asking for a special intervention. She's just continuing to do what she has been doing from the beginning: growing beautifully. And honestly, I love it. At around 160 cm, she's among the taller plants in the room. But I want to make something clear. This run isn't about producing gigantic plants. We haven't been chasing enormous heights. And that's something I'm actually very happy about. The plants are growing into what I would consider a beautiful, manageable size, while still creating strong structures and plenty of flowering sites. For me, that's a win. 👑 A Different Queen From Her Sister And once again, her relationship with Godfather OG Pheno A makes the phenotype hunt even more interesting. Same genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same reservoir. Same general treatment. Yet two very different personalities. Her sister has been one of the demanding girls in the room. Pheno B? She's basically: “Don't touch me. I've got this.” 😂 And I respect that. That's exactly why I don't want to force every plant into the same behaviour. The whole point of this experiment is to give the genetics the opportunity to express themselves. And Godfather OG Pheno B is expressing herself beautifully. 🍃 That Lush Green One of the first things I notice about her is the colour. She's lush. That beautiful, healthy green is still running throughout the plant, and it gives her a very strong visual presence. The foliage looks happy. The structure looks balanced. The plant is carrying herself confidently. And when I compare her to some of the more demanding phenotypes in the room, the contrast is fascinating. She's not screaming for anything. She's simply using what we're providing and turning it into growth. That's the kind of response every grower loves to see. 🌸 The Buds Are Coming From Everywhere And this week, the flowers are really beginning to take over the story. The bud development is becoming much more obvious, and the structure is starting to show exactly where this plant is heading. What I particularly love is the consistency of the flower formation from bottom to top. We're not just seeing beautiful development at the highest points. We're seeing flowering sites developing throughout the plant. And this is where the lighting strategy becomes especially interesting. The combination of the overhead lighting with the inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting is doing an outstanding job. Light is reaching much deeper into the structure. And we're getting flower development throughout that vertical space. That makes me very curious about how these lower flowers will continue to develop as we move deeper into flowering. 💡 Above, Inside & Below This is something I've been particularly happy with during this run. The Future of Grow LED Black Series provides the main overhead light. But we're not asking the top light to do absolutely everything. The inner-canopy lighting and the LumiFlora under-canopy lighting are helping bring photons into areas that traditionally receive much less direct light. And when you look at Godfather OG Pheno B... you can see why that matters. She's tall. She's open. She's got flowering sites distributed throughout her structure. And now we're seeing that flower development progressing from the upper canopy down toward the lower areas. That's exactly the kind of structure I wanted to see. Not one giant flower-covered ceiling with forgotten branches underneath. Instead: light → leaves → flowers from top to bottom. And so far, it's looking beautiful. 🌱 No Need to Interfere This week there was no reason for me to make major changes. No dramatic training. No unnecessary defoliation. No attempt to reshape her. No trying to make her behave differently. She's already giving us exactly what we want. So I'm following one of my favourite cultivation rules: If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Sometimes growers feel like they need to be doing something constantly. But plants don't need our hands on them every day. Sometimes the best thing you can do is observe. Look. Listen. And leave the plant alone. Godfather OG Pheno B is making that lesson very easy this week. Twelve Genetics. One Ecosystem. This is where the 8×8 Adventure continues to become more interesting every week. We're running twelve different genetics and more than twenty plants in the same overall ecosystem. They all have access to the same environmental conditions. They share the same feeding strategy. They share the same lighting philosophy. And yet every plant finds its own way. Some demand more. Some demand less. Some stay darker. Some become lighter. Some stretch aggressively. Some stay compact. Some become extremely aromatic. And some... just quietly get on with the job. Godfather OG Pheno B belongs to that last group. She's adapting. She's comfortable. And she's building. 🍽️ Feeding The room continues with the shared flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required The important part isn't simply the recipe. It's the response. And her response has been very clear: She's happy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining that beautiful green. She's not asking us to change anything. So we're not going to create changes just to feel like we're doing something. Consistency remains the strategy. 🌡️ The Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Again, the environment stays consistent. And Pheno B is showing us that she likes it. 📸 Behind the Lens This girl is becoming a photographer's pleasure. The full-plant photographs show that elegant vertical structure. The closer shots reveal the flowers developing throughout the plant. And the foliage... That green. That beautiful, healthy green. It's one of those plants where the longer you look, the more you notice. First you see the overall structure. Then the flowering sites. Then the individual flowers. Then the pistils. Then the early resin development. And suddenly you're standing there staring at one little flower for five minutes. 😂 That's the danger of growing. You start with: "I'll just check the plants." And twenty minutes later you're photographing a single flower from seventeen different angles. We've all been there. 😂📸 🌸 The Structure Is Speaking One thing I really like about this phenotype is the overall structure. She's tall without feeling awkward. She's open without looking sparse. She's producing flowering sites throughout the plant. And she's maintaining enough foliage to support that development. This is one of those plants where I don't feel the need to impose my own vision on her. Her structure already makes sense. She's doing her thing. And she's doing it well. That's what I mean when I say that the plants are telling us their own stories. We just have to be patient enough to listen. 🔍 What I'm Watching Now At this stage, my curiosity is shifting. The question isn't really: "Will she flower?" We already know the answer. She is. The question now becomes: How much will these flowers build? How much density will they develop? How much resin will accumulate? How will those lower flowering sites respond as we move deeper into the cycle? And what will this beautiful green plant look like when the flowering structure really starts to mature? Those are the questions I'm interested in now. And fortunately... I don't need to do anything to answer them. I just need to wait. 👑 Let Her Shine There's something particularly satisfying about this phenotype. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to be the loudest. She's not asking for special treatment. She's simply doing her job. Growing. Adapting. Flowering. And looking beautiful while doing it. She's around 160 cm, making her one of the taller ladies in the room, but that's exactly what I like about this run. We haven't created a jungle of enormous plants. We've created plants with beautiful proportions and beautiful structures. And Godfather OG Pheno B fits into that picture perfectly. 💚 The Beauty of Doing Nothing Sometimes cultivation is about knowing when to act. And sometimes... it's about knowing when not to. This week, Godfather OG Pheno B doesn't need intervention. She doesn't need correcting. She doesn't need reshaping. She doesn't need me trying to improve what is already working. She needs time. And I'm more than happy to give it to her. Because every week, she's showing a little more of what she's capable of. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more resin. A little more personality. And now we're reaching the point where those little changes are starting to become very obvious. 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week, I expect the flowers to continue building and becoming more defined. The stretch should gradually become less important as the plant shifts more of her energy toward flower development. I'm particularly interested in watching those lower and inner-canopy flowers. With the combination of the overhead, inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting, we're giving those areas a much better opportunity to develop. And so far... they're responding beautifully. So the plan? Keep the environment stable. Keep the reservoir consistent. Keep observing. Keep photographing. And most importantly... don't get in her way. 😂🌱 👑 Godfather OG Pheno B — Week 9 So here we are. Another week. Another chapter. Another little piece of the phenotype story revealed. She's around 160 cm. She's among the taller plants in the room. She's lush. She's green. She's healthy-looking. Her flowers are developing beautifully. Her structure is exactly the kind of structure I enjoy seeing. And she's asking for nothing. She's simply growing. And perhaps that's the most beautiful thing about her right now. She's comfortable enough in her environment that she doesn't need us constantly trying to intervene. She's found her rhythm. And now we're watching that rhythm turn into flowers. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project keeps reminding me why growing multiple phenotypes together is so fascinating. We can give them the same room. The same light. The same irrigation. The same nutrition. The same environmental conditions. And they still find completely different ways to express themselves. Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us the peaceful version of that story. Her sister is asking questions. This girl is answering them with flowers. 😂👑🌸 Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing the space where we can document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the powerful overhead lighting. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring light into the lower canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain environmental stability. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by simply to watch these plants develop. It means a lot. This isn't just about reaching the finish line. It's about seeing what happens along the way. And Godfather OG Pheno B is giving us one of the most enjoyable stories in the room right now. She's happy. She's adapting. She's beautiful. She's building flowers from top to bottom. She's getting more interesting every week. And she has only one thing to say: “Don't worry about me. I've got this.” 😂🌱👑 And you know what? I believe her. Growers Love, my friends, and I'll see you next week! 💚👑🌱

I'm so excited! This week she entered flowering! Almost doubled her height! Grew 22cm this week! I have transplanted her into a 10 Litre fabric pot. I've never used these before, but they look promising. Different to airpots. I'd say more extreme tbh. Oxygen to the root zone is never a bad thing 😎

both of my girls were very low in potassium... this mistake has been happening to me for a while now but I finally know the real reason :) she got CANNA kalium 2ml/L . and it seems that there are no more deteriorating leaves :)

I love super lemon haze what a smell its not normal

little bit of yellowing on a couple bottom leaves going to give some cal/mag and see if that helps have been slowly clipping leaves off the plants as needed trying to keep from stressing her out so i have been tucking when i can

Getting close to harvest, maybe one or two weeks more. I had some powdery mildew starting on one plant so I cut those out, drying them now.

We are officially in flower mode, folks! Switched to 12/12 for my photoperiod (the OG Glue), while the autos have already started pre flowering the week before. Got the scrog net set up to manage the incoming stretch, and plan to defoliate a bit the next week. Wasn't able to get a good picture for this week as I was out of town, so used a timelapse video instead.

So apparently my camera does not seem to know what shade green it wants to use. Red Pop #4 is without a doubt the strangest specimen in the group. It is displaying what appears to be polyploid traits in one of its tops. Along with a strange trait displayed by the petioles in attaching to the main stem in a vertical manner causing leave to grow vertically instead of horizontally. It also needs far more nutrients than the rest as it has grown much larger despite bending the main stem 90 degrees at two seperate points. Red pop #2 is a midget and has grown very weak. On a more positive note, I have fixed my humidity issue and now average around 55%. Airflow was the issue. not enough air intake into the tent. Silly me.

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Day 70 Well I think I will give them another week and harvest.Showing lots of trichomes that are mostly cloudy so I’ll let them go a bit longer.The tallest girl is at 40 inches and suffered some fox tailing I’m gonna say from when I pounded them with light for a week or so 😆.Even though she fox tailed and will not have the most dense buds she smells super strong and loaded with trichomes.Of the 5 Runtz the shortest has the chunkiest most dense buds.The other 3 were very big producers and took the LST great branching out forming tons of colas.Ill try to let them dry out this week and place in the dark for a day or so before chopping.Unfortunately in my area we have heavy rains all week humidity may become a problem so I will add a dehumidifier soon.

This week i start turn on dehumidifier to bring humidity 65% to 50-60%

Tall. And. Volume

Hello my friends growers This week I've got more and more yellow leaves, Do you think it's a carence, water excess, precose senesence? I don't what I need to think, or if just normal, I just give her water two times per week. 0.6l x 2. Fertilizer 1/2 times. I think I'll harvest end of this month or start December. If no, bud are biggest each day, and smeel really sweet. I've also started pk 13 14 this week. Sorry not lot pic's this week , I've broke my phone and lost several pic's. Have a good week 😁😁

OK so I think I had a nute burn problem, this week they are on pure water and seem to be perking up a lot more now. Punch 2 has deffo put more on in buds, Punch 2 seems to be lagging idk. Anyway that's it for this week! I actually only have 2 more weeks to finish them off😭 I don't think I'm going to have enough time.

Always cool to see what old school strains are all about. If there’s something experience has taught me is that classics are classics for a reason, and that’s the theme of this cycle. The germination was exceptionally fast, followed by the development of a thick stalk and huge broad leafs, this Gorilla surely started strong. Humidity and temperature kept fairly high throughout the week (70%/ 24°C), with regular misting, which they love! So far so good, feels like a happy and healthy seedling. Let’s see what she’s got 💪🌱

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas FBA-2506 de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, es una autofloreciente que es normalita de cultivar, tiene un periodo corto de crecimiento y de floración igual no es largo. En cuanto a la alimentación , pues la aplique una vez por semana y a sido suficiente, se a comportado bien en interior, la flor pues no es muy prieta porque no deja de ser una autofloreciente, pero es una flor que va repleta de tricomas, y tienes unos colores morado intensos. El periodo de luz pues de principio a fin a 18 horas, fue suficiente para completar el ciclo de vida como esperaba. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
